Flower-Infused Cocktail

Alyson Brown founded her business, Wild Folk Flower Apothecary, in 2017 as a way to share her love of flowers with the world. Flowers became her life. She went on to work with the Central Oregon Wildflower Show to collect and identify wildflowers, host workshops weaving intentions of flowers into botanical creations, plan a flower-infused Solstice dinner in her backyard, design many flower crowns, and mix many flower-infused cocktails. Though she currently calls the high deserts of Central Oregon her home, she often refers to her southern roots and love for the beach, having grown up just minutes from the Gulf Coast beaches in Florida. She lives in Bend, Oregon, with her husband, two young boys, a black cat, and a fluffy dog. When she’s not mixing flower-infused cocktails, she runs a creative services business in which she specializes in brand photography and graphic design, and in her spare time she enjoys hiking, paddleboarding, and gardening.
